The Young Mems Christian association
of Oshkosh, Wis, are rejoicing over a
new IS, 900 building given them by Hon.
Phlletus Sawyer, United States senator,
who is native of Whiting, Vt. The new
building was dedicated January l~t with
appropriate exercises. 1t Is complete in
It's appointments, beng furnished with
gymnaSiums for both men aud women
parlOr library and reading room and the
citizens think that the same amount of
money could not have been expended
more wisely for the benefit of the com
munlty.
1t is related that a fire broke out on or
near government wharf in Detroit which
would doubtless have been destroyed if
the officer of engineers in charge had not
succeeded in attracting the attention Of a
tugbOat, which came to the wharf and
put out the fire. For tins service the cap
tain Of the tug boat rendered a bill for S46,
which was paid by the officer in charge
and forwarded to Washington for reim-
burSement. The auditing officer threw
ont the biz upon the ground that the eX-
pendture was Unauthorized 10y law, since
there had been no advertisement, no pro
posal5, no suretieS, and consequently no
assurance that the work had been award
ed to the lowest bidder. The unfortunate
officer will have to pocket the loss he in

President Cleveland apparently did not
mean all that he SAID about newspaper
men. He recently invited the newspaper
CORES pOndents in Washington to meet
the diplomatic corps, and Will invite them
to attend the social receptions given to
the congressman and the military and
naval officers. This is a courtesy which has
not been extended to the representatives
Of the press since President Hayes invited
them to attend II reception given to the
diplomatic corps in the capacity of vesti-
bule hangers on The present invitation
vii doubtless be accepted in the spirit in
which it is extended

People who suffer from dreadful sus

A New York newspaper correspondent
prophesies that new era is about to
dawn upon the journalism of that metrop
oils. He says that he Hcruld is holding its
own fairly well but it is still second to
the IVOrid that the 1'ribUHC depends on
the backing of millionaire, and is grad
ually losing its reliabilityas newspaper;
that the sun has been obliged to mortgage
its building in order to keep pace with its
rivals, that the Times has lost a large
share of its old solid republican circula-
ton, through its erratic political course
aud that the EUcnipJ Post no
longer pretends to furnish news,
but merely opinion, and that none
of the leading dailies of the metrop-
oils are making much money. He CON
uludes that the headlong race will have
to stop betv cen them before long be
cause the newspapers cannot afford it,
and because the public is getting tired of
it. Sensations are amplilied, scandals as
he Justly remarks are not news. "The
news i. no longer reported. Instead of
the facts of life which everyone really
wants to know and ought to know we oh
tain definite variations of its pathology
always disease"
We are glad if the present state of New
York journalism promises IA speedy reyo-
luton and change Tor the better The
New York newspapers circulate largely
throughout the Eastern States, and their
tone governs to large extent the tone of
minor journalism and of public thought.
We should be GLAD to see them less sensa-
tional, more discriminating, more relia
BILE If they were cleaner, they would find
an entrance into many homes which are
now closed against them; and if they
were fairer and more truthful, their Opin-
ions on matters of public interest, might
once more become of consequence.
1t has been suggested that if the In
diana democrats cannot elect democratic
United States senator they might combine
To prevent an election with the view of
procuring the senator by the appointment
of the governor, who is democrat
There is a case ON record of the appoint
ment by the governor when the legisla-
ture had neglected its duty. This was the
case Of Senator ;. :. Phelps of Vermont
He was appointed to the 1hrty-second
Congress to FIJI vacancy caused by the
death of William Upham, took his seat
January 10. 1853, and in October of that
year the Vermont Legislature met, 1t
adjourned in December without electlng
a senator, Mr. Phelps sat through that
Congress and through special session of
the Senate that was convened on March 1
ensuing. In the next December he pre-
scented himself as a senator of Vermont
for the Thirty-nine Congress, and the
question of his title under appointment
of the governor, the Legislature
having failed to elect was referred to
the judiciary committee. Two reports
We're submitted by the committee, the
majority declaring that Mr.. Phelps was
entitled to his seat the minority that he
was not. The majority report was reject
ed, and the Senate declared that Mr..
Phelps was not entitled to "A seat. The
Senate then consisted of thirty eight dem
ocrats, twenty-five wings and two free
sellers.

A prominent life insurance man in
Hartford, Conn, says that the records of
life insurance show that "a young man of
20 years Of age who abstains entirely from
intoxicating drinks has good prospect Of
living to be 81 years of age; while the
moderate drinker at 20 years of age, can
only expect to live to be 49, years old.

Henry George has written book, and
it didn't ruin him; he has lectured, and
survives he has run for mayor of New

But now that he has embarked his capital
in newspaper he is a doomed man.

Mr.. Cox probably did not consider the
effect upon his health of change from
the eneryating climate of the East to the
rigors of an American winter. Ever since
the cold weather of the holidays he has
been confined to his room at the Riggs
House in Washington and the telegraphic
dispatches would seem t. indicate that
his condition, if not dangerous, is at least
serious.
1t seems almost impossible to do away
with the Objectionable system of feeling
walters, which has become almost as
firmly rooted in this country as III Eng
land The Palmer House in Chicago has
prided itself on its refusal TO permit It's
walters to receive tips" but IT finds that
it is too much trouble to oppose the pre-
vailing custom. As long as guests give
tips the waters will receive them.
